АФЕРИСТ ВСЕЯ РУСИ
И Поэма «Мертвые души» - описание финансовой авантюры Чичикова, похождения которого позволяют нам исколесить всю российскую провинцию. И афера, которая на первый взгляд видится невероятной и анекдотичной, постепенно приобретает достоверность. Предполагалось, что помещики и чиновники несут ответственность за судьбы людей. Однако не нужно быть ясновидящим, чтобы понять, что они совершенно равнодушны к своему долгу. Мелкий и не очень мелкий корыстный расчет, очевидно, определяет все их поведение и постепенно доводит человеческую личность до полной деградации. Повсеместное казнокрадство, коррупция и моральное разложение общества, - вот русские реалии середины ХIХ века. В этой ситуации метаморфоза Чичикова: от мальчишки, не считавшего зазорным поживиться за счет одноклассников, и начинающего карьериста, угождающего начальству, до расторопного, проницательного и «бескорыстного» таможенного чиновника, умудрившегося наладить надежный канал контрабанды, - не кажется исключительной. Кульминацией карьеры авантюриста становится махинация с покупкой мертвых душ, чтобы впоследствии заложить их в опекунском совете. Невероятно? Отнюдь. Действительность Николаевской России сама по себе столь парадоксальна, что здесь могут совершаться самые неправдоподобные с точки зрения здравого смысла события. (По материалам С.И.Машинского) |

Когда
мужчина и женщина любят друг друга и
стремятся к тому, что в сказках называется
«и с тех пор жили вместе долго и
счастливо», одним из самых сильных
искушений, которое им придется испытать,
является соблазн владеть или пользоваться
чем-либо вместе. На одинаковых условиях.
Что мое – твое. “Mi dinero
– su dinero.”
Придется признать тот грустный факт, что, когда отношения исчерпывают себя, денежный вопрос может вылиться в катастрофу. А нередко именно он оказывается источником разногласий, которые в свою очередь приводят отношения к краху.
Вот четыре благих намерений, которыми вымощена дорога в финансовый ад.
Совместный заем
На первый взгляд совместный заем кажется вполне естественным шагом – ведь вы же любите и доверяете друг другу. Однако будьте осторожны. Это не просто ваша подпись на листке бумаги. Последствия этого шага могут испортить вашу кредитную историю на многие годы вперед.
Каким бы замечательным и надежным ваш спутник не был, стоит задуматься, почему вас просят вас взять совместный заем. Возможно, в прошлом у него или нее были проблемы с выплатой кредита и поэтому сейчас получить новый кредит без со-заемщика невозможно. Это может свидетельствовать о том, насколько ответственно или безответственно он/она относятся к взятым на себя обязательствам, например, по кредитам, а в конечном итоге и к вам.
Вы окажетесь на крючке у банка, если ваш со-заемщик не выполнит своих обязательств по кредиту. Сборщики долгов нацелятся на вас, когда придет время возврата денег, потому что они идут к тем, до кого легче всего добраться. В результате помимо того, что за вами будут охотиться сборщики долгов, оценка вашей кредитоспособности опустится до самого низкого уровня.
«Я считаю, вполне естественным для молодых людей брать совместный кредит, так как это еще больше сближает их. Однако полагаю, что им также необходимо иметь отдельные кредитные истории, чтобы в непредвиденной ситуации – болезнь, смерть, развод – остаться независимым и уверенным в своем финансовом положении», - говорит аналитик отдела потребительских кредитов.
Оплата счетов
Нередки случаи, когда один из двоих, живущих вместе, молодых людей зарабатывает больше, чем другой. Помимо уязвленного самолюбия здесь скрывается гораздо более серьезный повод для беспокойства.
Возможно, один из вас или вы оба не имеете достаточного опыта в оплате счетов.
Или вы еще не думаете всерьез о браке, и поэтому неважно, кто за что платит. Однако не стоит недооценивать важность этой стороны взаимоотношений. Необходимо тщательно обдумать, когда и как объединять ваши денежные ресурсы в один счет. И следует ли это вообще делать.
Ипотека
Американская мечта для многих молодых пар, прежде всего, связана с покупкой своего первого дома. Но с этим не стоит спешить. Нужно понимать, что такое имущество, как дом, может усложнить ваши отношения. Вы готовы ежемесячно выплачивать значительную сумму по ипотечному кредиту? Готовы нести бремя расходов по страховке и содержанию дома? Это большие суммы, на которые вы должны согласиться добровольно.
Отсутствие стратегии отхода
Сложно сохранять трезвую голову в упоении страстью, когда сердца бьются в унисон и невозможно разомкнуть объятья. Но надо. Иногда отношения, казавшиеся нерушимыми, заканчиваются. Поэтому, стоит заранее обсудить, что произойдет, если ваши финансовые договоренности переживут ваши личные отношения. Необязательно переводить этот разговор в форму добрачного соглашения, но определенно, некоторые конкретные пункты необходимо оговорить устно, а некоторые и закрепить в письменной форме. Например: Как распоряжаться совместными кредитными карточками? Каков план выплаты совместно приобретенного кредита? Кто получает нематериальные активы и какие?
Конечно, это не самые приятные темы для беседы во время свидания, но, в конечно счете, такие обсуждения помогут избежать неопределенности и переживаний при расставании. Чего, мы надеемся, никогда c вами не произойдет.
